You choose good things but maybe you can think about H100 if you want to OC. It's six core Intel you will try probably
4.2-4.5GHz someday and H100 have little better temps. 
PSU is enough, case have good airflow, your SSD is probably SATA III ... powerfull PC.
Look that memory how work with X79. CORSAIR say Guranteed Support for X79 ...
Ask some X79 FTW/Classified owners.
Quad Channel is important for X79. 
3930k properly cooling with Hydro Series/ EVGA X79 FTW/ Dominator GT 2133 - Quad Excellent PC
I liked X79 FTW but it's over my budget because of CPU and importan Quad Channel at once, unavailable for me
and to much only for gaming.

Hi all
It is time to upgrade some of the bits in my rig, limited funds mean that I will have to do it in stages
so I was thinking of the following as the first stage
EVGA X79 FTW
Dominator® GT with DHX Pro Connector — 1.5V 16GB Quad Channel DDR3 Memory Kit (CMT16GX3M4X2133C9)
Intel® Core™ i7-3930K Processor (12M Cache, up to 3.80 GHz)
Corsair H80 Liquid CPU Cooler

I will be keeping my EVGA GTX460s (sli) and Intel SSD, Corsair AX850 psu, case is a cool master HAF X
can anyone see problems with the part upgrade?

Cheers Riff

 
Hello my friend and welcome to the forums!
 
1.)  If you just enjoy gaming, you could save yourself some money and go with the Z77 chipset and a socket 1155 Ivy Bridge processor. 
2.)  If you choose to go with X79, I would recommend an Asus, MSI or Gigbyte board (or ASrock).  There have been many problems with EVGA's X79 boards that none of the other boards seem to suffer from.  If you want a specific board, just shoot me a PM and I will be glad to help.
3.)  For whichever board you choose, visit the vendor site and check the RAM QVL sheet.  This will tell you which specific RAM(kits) has been tested with their board.  Trust me, you will save yourself many a headache down the road. 
 
Either way you go, your other items will work well.
Best of luck!
 
 

Hi
 
thanks for the quick replies
couple of issues that i had not thought about
H100 would fit in the top of the case with ease, have to remove two 210mm fans, but worth thinking about
PSU was going to be in stage 2, but will check  the funds after i settle on mobo
now i feel bad talking about other manufacturers boards on the fantastic EVGA forum, but are the X79 FTW still that buggy? also not likeing the second GPU at the bottom of the board
 
are the ASUS rampage iv extreme worth the extra $ or is ASUS p9x79 pro better bang for your buck?
or should i go with a different board all together?
 
only have used ASUS and EVGA boards

No idea, some have lemons some don't, there isn't a perfect board. 
 
Worked since day 1 for me too. Works great too. EVGA FTW here.
Overclocking never been this easy for me before.
